With plenty of narrower (not skinny) ties and lapels I really like the J Press OCBD collars. I find that most of the better Italian brands are HUGE on the collar, and out of scale with my accessories. Plus at $85 a shirt I take them in to my tailor to take in the sides for a trimmer fit in the torso.

From AAAC: it appears Trad favourite O'Connell's has quite a selection of NOS BB OCBD from the 80s for sale. This might be the Holy Grail you collar roll nerds are looking for. Act fast before vox buys em all!

This is how mine often (recent BB) often end up looking:

I almost think double button OCBD would fix it for me.


and this is what I'd like them to look like:
